Perth Airport is in chaos after desperately trying to recover from a total blackout due to a severe storm that criss-crossed the State. The flights are already running but there is a huge backlog with passengers trying to get through security. Hundreds of people with high vision were in Terminal 2 as regional flights took off. The line to pass through security is almost out the door as people race to make their flights on time. Terminal 1 is less chaotic, almost like a ghost town, as some flights are still cancelled. An airport spokesman said the terminals were “fully operational” as of 10pm last night, but the after effects of the impact could still be felt. Perth Airport has announced a thorough review of its backup power system in light of the power outage. While the backup power for the critical runway was turned on, the terminal went into chaos as the backup power failed to turn on. Chief executive Kevin Brown said a review would begin soon to understand why parts of the backup g

Passengers have been told to go home after all flights were canceled at Perth Airport due to power outages “out of their control”. Travelers sitting in the dark with only torches to light their way got bad news just before 6.30pm on Monday, that all flights—except for direct flights QF 9 London to Perth—had to be cancelled. The violent storm that hit Perth cut off all electricity at the airport which some experienced staff had never seen before. Perth Airport announced the news at around 5:15 p.m., warning that the blackout would result in lengthy delays over the next two hours. The airport apologized to passengers, some of whom were found stranded at other airports because they could not land in Perth. “The safety of everyone working or traveling through our airport remains our top priority,” the airport said. “We apologize to our passengers and customers for the inconvenience.” It said the decision was made on advice from Western Power. “Perth Airport has made the decision to suspend

A business class passenger on an Avianca flight experienced a sour taste in his mouth. He recently took to the Internet to share his experiences of unclean toilets, packaged desserts, and breakfasts “served in economy class containers.” The priesthood may not say “no one has the wrath of a business class passenger scorned” but he really had to. Why? A spiky late passenger recently took to the Internet with another hit from his London-Bogota flight Avianca 787, where the experience failed to live up to its bill as a premium service. A “comically bad” experience stabbed by avid traveler Matthew Klint, who writes for aviation websites Jump & Let’s Fly . Klint recently flew Avianca, a Colombian airline that has been the flag carrier of Colombia since December 5, 1919, when it was originally registered under the name SCADTA. Even though Avianca isn’t well-known as one of the world’s leading luxury airlines (for airlines that have the best business class deals in the world today, vis

The moon could be a huge rocket swap and a stopping point for humans to travel to other parts of the solar system in 2069 – the 100th anniversary of the first moon landing. This month marks 53 years since humanity made the giant leap and NASA’s Apollo 11 mission placed US astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the brightest satellite on Earth. Now space scientists around the world are considering how the moon could become a “changeable” launch pad for the next half century.

Currently, scientists are trying to calculate whether it is possible to put a space station into orbit around the moon, with a view to sending people to Mars or even further into space. “I think that will be the future. Our next step from Earth is to figure out how we can use t

Extremely long lines at airports and at immigration and customer desks, frequent flight delays or cancellations, often at the last minute, lost baggage and now-surging fares are not limited to Qantas, or Virgin, but are commonplace globally. The airport responded by limiting the number of passengers and asking airlines to limit their ticket sales. London’s Heathrow sparked controversy this month when it capped the number of passengers to 100,000 per day and ordered airlines to halt ticket sales until mid-August. London’s second international airport, Gatwick and Amsterdam’s Schiphol, has taken similar action. The pandemic brought the global travel industry to a virtual standstill, adding to pressure on airlines around the world.

Travel cash cards sound great, but there are a few key issues to watch out for. Photo: iStock Do not use a travel cash card. That’s the golden nugget of advice from Traveler “Tripologist” Michael Gebicki when it comes to managing your money abroad. Don’t approach one of them. “I hate them,” Gebicki told Flight of Fancy, the Traveler podcast, on this week’s money-themed episode. “I don’t understand why any intelligent person would ever use a travel cash card.” To clarify, a “travel cash card” is different from a standard credit or debit card. It is a product offered by many institutions today – from Australia Post to Qantas to CommBank – that allows travelers to buy amounts of foreign currency and put it in a card, which can then be used like a standard debit or credit card with local currency when they travel. abroad. Sounds great at face value, but there are a few issues, as Gebicki explains. “The exchange rate, to begin with, is pretty bad,” he said. “And then there
